Students sit in detention at American Indian Public Charter school for offenses ranging from getting up during class or skipping a problem on a homework assignment. Students who misbehave in the slightest must stay an hour after school; if they misbehave again in the same week, they get more detention and four hours of Saturday detention."We are extremely strict," says Director Janet Roberts. "You don't put up with any nonsense and learning can occur."
